I dont know what my TDEE is, I am bad at math lol, and i keep hearing that we should be eating between our BMR and TDEE. My problem is is that my BMR is just over 2k cal, is that not too much to eat if I want to lose weight? MFP has set my daily cal's to 1650 and i normaly eat around 1700 a day after exercise.

As i understand it muscle does take up less space in the body than fat does. If you measure out 1lb of fat and 1lb of muscle, ofcourse they are both going to weigh 1lb...you measured it. But when you lose fat you get lighter, gaining muscle can mean you gain lbs but you are a fitter smaller person.

No dont get me wrong! I know its not somthing you chose to be, ofcourse. I just mean to say i doubt that because someone has so many brothers they are going to be gay or the fact that its in your genes. It just is and i think telling people that its caused by these things could be a harmful thing.

Um...i thought someones sexuality was a personal preference? I dont think all women are bi at all, i find woman attractive but im married to a male and i dont want to go out and shag every woman i think looks good. I highly doubt what sex your siblings are is going to determine wether you like doodles or not.

Hmmm. I dont think it matters male or female. This is a place people come to for support and motivation, who has what body parts doesnt really change that for me. I always did get on with guys more than gals but not because i chose to, its just nice to know people going through the same struggles.

Just done the monthly food shop yesterday and saw these, picked up a 4 pack of the lil pots for me and hubby to try, ^^ they seem like a great idea!

Hello my name is Amy. Im 23, got married when i was 18 and moved from australia to ireland, hubby was in collage here at the time. I was anorexic when i was about 13, not on purpose, just didnt realise it was happening until my mother sat me down and told me and streight away i started eating and now im overweight lol. I…

Hey, this is a great idea! I need to lose at least 150lbs, aiming for 170lbs though.

Thanks :), i do try to eat breaky when i can but it being the end of the month we'r running low on foods lol. I have lost .4 lbs since last month which isnt a lot by far but it is a loss and im happy about it considering i ate pretty badly last week!

Yay! i live in Ireland! ^^. I also find it hard to shop and eat right here, especialy on a budget.

Would really love some advice at this point :(. Im doing the exercise, almost sure im eating ok and the weight just wont move. I doubt im going to get what i wanted by the end of the month but i wont give up, would just like some advice.

I log my food every day, if not as often as possible. I never really go over my calories, mostly i just go over the fat intake which im trying to fix. I have cut down alot on carbs, trying to eat more meat and veg than anything. I do bike the 5k, walking is a problem and i find using the indoor bike i have no back pain so…

thanks for the responses folks. I only workut 5 days a week, having sat and sunday off. there is no where near me where i could get access to a pool, my other options are walking with is very limited and video's like the 30 day shred which i do sometimes.

Howdy. Im Amy, a fellow geek and gamer girl, female. I didnt start gaming untill i was about 16 so iv been catching up since then. I started on the ps1, have played on all the ps's. Iv been big into WoW for the last 4years but now swaped over to SWTOR because its the best game ever lol, plus im too cheap to pay for both…

Oh im a big gamer, been playing WoW for the last 4 years, now on SWTOR! Also the ps3 play anything from skyrim and bioshock to CoD. Id like to meet other gamers trying to lose weight too ^^!

Well im actuly down to 303lbs, which i think is great considerings its my TOM. But i would really like some feedback on my food and exercise if anyone could spare a moment.

Iv had bad periods since my first, always EXTREMLY painful lol. I have a prescription for pain med for my back at the moment that hels and i take 2 panadol and 2 nurofen aswell. The problem i have is that i get it sometimes for 3 weeks at a time, others a day or 2. Exercising during that time is always better, even if its…

Do you have an indoor bike? I also have back problems and dont walk as an exercise because of it. But i find that using the bike doesnt hurt my back or put any strain on it. Plus you can do it in the privacy of your own home and watch tv while you exercise!

Avocados arnt bad, ^^ i loves them too! But you couldnt eat just the, for too long at least. You still need other things in your diet to be healthy like meat and dairy. Try incorporating them into different meals so that you get all the stuff you need. I love them in pita breads with some ham and cottage cheese ^^.

So its a good thaing that iv run out of coal to keep warm ^^

Thanks guys, i need to get into the state of mind where i can make mistakes or fall behind, but still know that i have to just keep trying! I also dont beleive in not having this that i want, i just have to learn to have them in moderation. Im doing better with my calories and im much more active than i was, which is good…

Thanks guys. This kind of sux because i think this is why iv been having alot of trouble losing weight so far, but now i know ^^.
